The hype surrounding the New Orleans Pelicans is still the sixth pick in the upcoming NBA Draft. However, while many are focused on that pick alone, the Pelicans do have two second-round picks stored away. While that may not seem major, it certainly can be, if used correctly.
New Orleans owns the 39th and 40th picks in the 2016 NBA Draft, which are closer to the middle of the second round. Still, the options for those picks are massive. The first option that comes into play is trading them to try and move back into the first round and get a player that can be impactful in the near future.
